NIA and IITC

When Andrew Krug was the Community Manager, he answered MANY AMA questions. The Latest update is:

20 Jan 2018

Q19: You've stopped just short of giving an official stance on iitc, but there's a difference between that and things like ingressmosaik and riot and drunken frog, from a community standpoint some of these tools help and some are harmful when it comes to tracking location and all that. Is there any intent to reword the terms to make it clearer what is and isn't permitted? There's a lot of equivocation about iitc and other tools.

A19: We are looking at redoing the terms of service. One of the things I'm advocating for is that - we can't enumerate all things that are permitted and aren't, - licensing or endorsing things like ingreasmosaik and iitc, ways that we can make things more apparent that some things are more okay to use. We used specific language for a reason like "negatively impacts the community". We recognise the value of these tools so the question is how do we avoid liability with people using things like player tracker, but still recognise the positive effects of some tools. Time will tell and we need lawyers to sign off.
